Wedding Venues at Amansala (Photos + Guest Fit)
Below are the wedding venues at Amansala, with planning notes to help you pick the best fit for your ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception.
Beachfront Ceremony Space
The classic Tulum beach wedding moment: sand underfoot, Caribbean horizon behind you, and a relaxed, barefoot-elegant feel for your vows.
Planning tip: Choose a late-afternoon start for softer light, cooler temperatures, and a smooth transition into sunset photos.
Beachfront Terrace, Bar & Deck
An open-air social hub with ocean views, ideal for cocktail hour, a relaxed reception, or a welcome party where guests can mingle between the bar and the deck.
Best fit: couples who want a lively, easygoing celebration with the beach right there.
Jungle Rooftop
An elevated, tropical-chic setting for a rooftop ceremony, sunset cocktails, or an intimate dinner surrounded by Tulum greenery.
Photo win: golden-hour light, string lights, and greenery make for dramatic photos with simple décor.
Jungle Garden
A lush, shaded garden setting for ceremonies, rehearsal dinners, and small receptions. It suits couples who want a natural, organic Tulum look.
Planning tip: Greenery does the heavy lifting here. Add candles, lanterns, and wildflower-style florals rather than heavy structures.
Full Resort Buyout (Chi Ka / Grande & Chica)
Take over the entire property for a private wedding weekend. Ceremony, cocktails, dinner, and after-party all happen on your terms, with your guests staying on-site.
Make it feel like yours: use the buyout to stage a welcome night, ceremony, reception, and farewell brunch across different spaces without sharing the property.

Amansala Wedding Costs: What Actually Changes the Total Price
Destination wedding totals vary widely. At Amansala, one fact matters most for budgeting: the resort is not all-inclusive, so room rates do not include meals and drinks. Here are the biggest levers that impact your total:
The biggest cost drivers
- Food & beverage (meals and drinks are not included in rates, so plan cocktail hour, dinner, and bar separately)
- Guest count (more people means larger events and more food and beverage)
- Venue choice (a single venue vs. a full resort buyout)
- Décor + florals (arches, aisle styling, centerpieces, lighting)
- Guest lodging (room categories chosen and number of nights)
Smart "value" moves
- Spend on ceremony focal points (arch + aisle) and keep table décor simple
- Let the setting work for you: Beachfront Ceremony Space for vows, Jungle Garden for natural greenery
- Use candles, lanterns, and string lights to elevate evening photos, especially on the Jungle Rooftop
- Use the Restaurant for a rehearsal dinner or farewell meal instead of building a second private event
- Offer guests a mix of room categories, from the Simple and small Room to the Beach front Room, so every budget is covered
